1,368 changes found their way to the repositories last week, 802 for Chromium and 566 for WebKit. Highlights include Chromium 19, an Extension Activity Log page and no more high-latency audio code path.

The branch for Google Chrome 18 has been created, giving Anthony a cause to remind us about Potassium while kicking Chromium’s version 19. Approximately 6,500 Chromium, 4,400 WebKit commits and 300 v8 commits participated in this release, giving a combined total of over 11 thousand changes. Chrome 18 brings six new stable extension APIs, a CSS Selector Profiler, Mutation Observers and many, many more changes.

Work has been started on an Extension Activity Log page which will share information about API calls a certain extension makes, allowing you to keep an eye out on their behavior.
